The Score: An Epic Journey

The Score – An Epic Journey is the third album of the Dutch symphonic metal formation Epica, released in 2005. It is the film soundtrack to Joyride, a Dutch production. Most of the songs of the album are purely instrumental, except for four songs. The three songs that do feature the singing voice of Simone Simons ("Trois Vierges", "Solitary Ground", "Quietus") are different versions of songs from the album Consign to Oblivion, which was released earlier the same year. The album was originally supposed to be released on September 8. After two delays, this date changed to September 20, 2005. The first samples of The Score were given to Jimmy Lim by Mark Jansen in Madrid.
